Softening Cracked Heels through
Ayurveda herbal
remedies
Cracked heels are one of the most common beauty
problems caused by drying of
skin. The desire to wear attractive
foot wear will remain just that with cracked heels. Cracked heels
are also referred to as heel fissures. When these fissures are
deep they may bleed and become painful. Some times they may also
get infected.
Ayurveda classifies cracked heels under “kshudra rogas” (common
diseases without much complecations) and explains the causes and
remedies for cracked heels.
Cracks or fissures usually appear on outer edges of heels when the
skin on these parts is
dry and thick.
What causes cracked heels?
According to ayurveda the cracked heel is caused by vitiation of
Vata. Due to vitiation of
vata the
skin becomes
dry, rough and
fissured.
-
Walking bare
foot for long distances vitiates
vata causing cracked heels.
-
Dry and cold
weather increases
vata in body and may cause cracks on the
heels. The same weather conditions worsen the already present
cracks or fissures on heels.

Usually the
process of sweating keeps our skin moist and soft. Absence of
or inactive sweat glands cause
dryness of skin. Vitiated
vata
dries up sweat glands.

People who
have dry skin tend to develop cracked heels easily.

Continued
pressure on feet causes cracking of skin on heels. This may be
due to prolonged standing or
over weight.

Thin soled
shoes, Open backed shoes, heel spurs, Surgery of lower
extremities, flat feet, high arched feet and diseases like
psoriasis, eczema etc also cause fissured heels.
